A what if question on a vet running back

I have a what if thought. What if the Chargers were to acquire running back Deangelo Williams? Not saying it could happen or would happen, but would he be a good fit? He would be a back who could carry the load and a good receiver out of the back field. He would be a good back up for the injury prone Mathews, as well as share carries. This would keep Mathews fresher. The Panthers are 3 deep at running back and just extended Jonathon Stewart. He may be available on the cheap. The Panthers may be willing to part with his contract. His next year is an option year I believe. Would we have the ability to do such a thing? Just curious.

I said it before and I'll say it again, we should have given Peyton Hillis more of a look. The man does everything well, run, catch, block, and is playing angry trying to prove himself again...and the Chiefs got him for 1yr/3M.

As for DWil, its not a remotely realistic option due to his 9 million dollar cap hit next year, but there is no downside to having 2 very talented guys splitting carries. I might spend a 3rd or 4th round draft pick on a RB next year though...hell I would have this year, and I'm the biggest Mathew's supporter here.

Hillis would NOT work in our system. He'd be a more of a larger Hester in Norv's system. I can see him being really good in Chiefs systems and is why I believe he is a good fit with them.

We need like quick RB similar to what Darren Sporles was.

Why because he's white? He's a bigger/faster version of Mike Tolbert. Unfortunately all anyone wanted to do was bitch about his holdout last year...a holdout I supported entirely considering he was the Browns ENTIRE OFFENSE in 2010, and risks his body as much as any player in the league.

A RB who pounds the rock on the goal line, has rediculously good hands, and can pass block....sounds like a Norv RB to me.
